My Words

Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy.

Rule #236 06/09/16

Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place. Unconditional love accepts people as they are not as we wish they would be.

We have this idea that love is supposed to last forever. But love isn’t like that. It’s a free-flowing energy that comes and goes when it pleases. Sometimes, it stays for life; other times it stays for a second, a day, a month, or a year. So don’t fear love when it comes, simply because it makes you vulnerable. But don’t be surprised when it leaves either. Just be glad you had the opportunity to experience it. ~Will "Story" Rivera
